One of the leaders in grape production, Italy has a powerful sense of verity when it comes to wine. Originally introduced by the Mycenaean Greeks, viticulture has flourished in the country for more than two-thousand years. Greco-Roman influence would outline the quintessential winemaking and ageing techniques that are currently practiced worldwide. Italian prominence in local crop production has become so prolific, there is nary a region where grapes are not harvested.
